President Barack Obama believes that the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Hobby Lobby case on contraceptives “jeopardizes” women’s health and will press Congress to respond, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Monday.

While the administration has made accommodations for religious institutions, it believes that “the owners of for-profit companies should not be allowed to assert their personal religious views to deny their employees federally mandated benefits,” Earnest said.

The administration, he added, will “respect” the high court’s ruling but “will continue to look for ways to improve Americans’ health by helping women have more, not less, say over the personal health decisions that affect them and their families” and is looking to Congress to take action.

“There is an opportunity for Congress to take the kinds of steps that will mitigate” the ruling, Earnest said, declining to elaborate on exactly what those steps would look like.

As it continues to examine the ruling, the White House will also “consider whether there is an opportunity for the president to take some other action that could mitigate,” Earnest said.
